Budget Battles Continue

Legislative leaders negotiating the state budget say it's going to take a little longer to get a budget deal done. As Laura Weber reports, "Many lawmakers say the budgets that tend to be the most contentious every year are the ones that deal with lots of money and sensitive issues, such as corrections and Medicaid.

Detroit's Land Plan

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing held the first of six scheduled meetings last night to discuss new land-use plans for the city.
